Alfredo Chicken Sauce is rich, delicious, and whips up in minutes. Use it on pastas, pizzas, or as a dipping sauce!
When it comes to pasta, homemade pasta sauce is always better than store-bought! That’s why we love Homemade Marinara and this homemade Alfredo sauce. We use it on Fettuccine, Pizza, or for dipping Breadsticks!
token: Fettuccine Alfredo vs FRIED CHICKEN FOR THE WIN!
Fettuccine Alfredo is by far my kids’ favorite Italian dish. It’s cheesy and so comforting. While they love it plain, I like to jazz it up with chicken and veggies (or with sausage).

But the best and most important part of the dish is the sauce!!! That rich and creamy Alfredo Sauce is what makes it a best-loved meal in our home. [becomes ads]
While I love different versions of the sauce, I must admit that I think mine is the best homemade alfredo sauce. It’s rich, creamy, has the best flavor, and only requires a few simple ingredients.
And while it may seem daunting, it’s actually super easy to whip up. It’s even perfect for a week-night meal and is on the table in under 30 minutes!

NOTES and TIPS for EASY ALFREDO
How to thicken: The sauce will thicken as it simmers. If you still think your sauce needs to be thicker, you can easily add some extra parmesan. You can also use flour or cornstarch:
- Flour: Scoop about ¼ cup of alfredo sauce into a separate bowl. Add 1-2 tbsp of flour and whisk until smooth. Return the mixture to the pan and stir. Repeat if needed.
- Slurry: In a small bowl, whisk together an equal amount of cornstarch with cold water. I usually do 1 tbsp of each and stir until smooth. Slowly, whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce.

RECIPE TIPS
- Fresh is best when it comes to Parmesan cheese. Avoid pre shredded parmesan and definitely do not use the powder kind from a shaker.
- For the creamiest sauce use heavy whipping cream. The higher fat content makes for the thickest richest sauce. You can use half and half or whole milk, but it won’t be quiet as creamy.
- Whisk, don’t stir. This will help make sure the sauce combines completely and won’t separate.
- Don’t overheat the sauce. Melted cheese can “break” if it gets too hot leaving you with a lumpy sauce.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Not just for Pasta: It’s super simple to serve this sauce over a bed of your favorite pasta noodles with the addition of your favorite protein (chicken, sausage, or even shrimp!), but it can be used for many other dishes as well such as:
- Chicken Alfredo Pizza
- chicken casseroles
- as a dipping sauce for breads
- spread on top of chicken or fish

FOOD STORAGE INFO
STORED, the sauce alone can last for 3-4 days in the fridge. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container or glass jar. You can also FREEZE the sauce, but due to the dairy and cream it may take on a different texture. To REHEAT, do it slowly over low heat. Whisking occasionally. Adding a bit of cream or milk can help smooth it out.
